Purple Cloak
May 08, 2018
Matt Maudlin has created a new housing concept for folks living in rooming houses. He writes: 'Many people find themselves in rooming houses through a series of unfortunate events. Such people are able to live independently within the community .... with a little bit of community support. We will operate The Purple Cloak projects. This housing venture is completely dependent upon the community getting behind it; we are NOT seeking any levels of Government support. My belief is that an issue as hideous as homelessness will only end when we as a community stand up and say 'enough!' Chair: Charlotte England |

NATIONAL TREE DAY Celebrating 21 years Fristch Holzer Park Rose Street, Hawthorn East (Meet near BBQ area) 29th July 2018 10am - 1pm ------- Did you know? 'The park was named after Augustus Fritsch and the Holzer brothers who formed the Upper Hawthorn Brick Company in 1883. The factory employed around 50 people and produced 250,000 bricks a week, which were used throughout Victoria. Council bought the area in 1972 and used it as a landfill site until 1986, then as a temporary waste transfer station until 1989. In the years that followed the site was left empty to allow the landfill to stabilise. Council, together with the Victorian Government and the Rotary Club of Hawthorn, reconstructed the area into a park in 1995'. (Source: Boroondara Council) |

Come and listen to the inspiring story of the Karen refugees and Nhill. John and Margaret Millington OAMs (that's them in the attached photo) are community trail blazers. They also have been a driving force in settling Karen refugees in Nhill. One report said that.... 'an impact study has found the resettlement program has added $40 million to the town's economy, and led to the creation of 70 full-time jobs'. You may have seen the story on SBS, or in other media. It's a truly inspirational story. Chair: Noel Halford

UPDATE: The Cambodia Project
Aug 14, 2018
Come and hear an inspiring update from our member, Peter Lugg regarding what Rotary Hawthorn's work in sending goods has meant to Cambodian hospitals. You will recall that 'Peter has a particular interest in the people of Cambodia and assists in alleviating their medical conditions where possible, and to quote him ‘Cambodia is beguiling and feels like home’. He finds time to be in Cambodia every 5 to 8 weeks. Peter’s work is primarily with the poorest Cambodians (approx. 30% of the population) who generally cannot access any medical advice as they just don’t have the means to pay. Most of it revolves around orthopaedics and hip replacements'. Chair: Gordon Cheyne |

Writer & Photographer
Sep 11, 2018
Writer and photographer Tim Webster presents Melbourne’s Queen Victoria Market, an unprecedented work of oral history, eight years in the making. This illustrated anthology of the oral histories of the Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne takes you behind the counters to reveal intimate views of the market’s unique way of life. Drawn from more than a hundred and eighty interviews, and featuring beautiful and atmospheric photography throughout, Melbourne’s Queen Victoria Market explores the values and ideas within the city’s heart. ‘When the stallholders have gone home at the end of the day of trade, you can shut your eyes, you look up the aisles and it could be 1923, it could be 1953, it could be 1973…I have memories of people who are no longer here. It’s the people that make the market. It’s the people.‘ Melbourne’s Vic Market is an Australian heritage gem, a place for everyone. For over a century and a half, generations of small traders have embraced the opportunities to make a living at this iconic market, cultivating healthy competition and innovation in an evolving cultural melange. Tim’s presentations and exhibitions with previous works include the following venues:

Captain ‘Old King’ Cole: from Port Phillip Pioneer to Victorian Patriarch
Oct 16, 2018
The talk provides a view of early Melbourne life through Captain George Ward Cole, who arrived in Melbourne in 1840 following a career in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars, and in the merchant marine.He was prominent in early Melbourne society, controversially marrying into the McCrae family and building one of the first houses in Brighton, St Ninians. Cole built the first private wharf on the Yarra, known as Cole’s Wharf, and developed shipping facilities in Port Phillip, providing sea transport both locally and to other colonies. He established the town of St Leonards on the Bellarine Peninsula, he was a leader in the development of Melbourne and was a respected politician, serving on the Legislative Council for 20 years. Although he had seven children, none married and his memory died out with them. This talk provides the opportunity to rediscover this virtually forgotten patriarch of early Melbourne.

From Zero To Hero
Oct 30, 2018
Ken Linnett is the author of 'Tulloch'... 'This is the remarkable story of Tulloch, the virtually unwanted yearling who rose to greatness with the support of Australia’s most flamboyant trainer and a contrasting dogged owner, who often clashed about what was best for their horse. It’s more than a story about a great racehorse—one of the best to grace Australia’s turf and often mentioned in the same breath as Phar Lap and Carbine–who overcame a near-death illness to return triumphantly to racing after two years. It’s a story about the characters behind the scenes—his trainer, the legendary Tommy Smith, his owner Evelyn Haley, the jockeys, such as George Moore and Neville Sellwood, who rode him and the his strapper and track rider, Lem Bann, a song ’n dance man who whistled his way into Tulloch’s heart' Chair: David Rush

Cup Day Holiday
Nov 06, 2018
Melbourne Cup Day is Australia’s best known horse racing event. Since 1861 it has been held on the first Tuesday of November at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne. It is an annual public holiday in the state of Victoria. This event, popularly dubbed as “the race that stops the nation”, is a 3,200 metre race for three-year-olds and over, is said to be the richest ‘two-mile’ handicap in the world and is one of the richest turf races. More than 100,000 people usually attend Flemington Racecourse, and the race is televised live to an audience of about 650 million people worldwide'. Did you know? The 1875 winner, Wollomai, came from Phillip Island?, (which is located around 135 kilometres south-east of Melbourne and is better known for its penguin colonies). In earlier days, prior to a ferry service between Phillip Island and San Remo, animals were swum across to the Narrows. It was thought that Wollomai had very little chance of winning, but jockey Bob Batty rode the horse to success, in a time of three minutes and thirty eight seconds, before a crowd of 70,000 people. The owner, John Cleeland, returned to Cape Woolomai with £22,000 pounds, having given the jockey and trainer £500 each.
